Introduction to Princess sissy
Sissy is Maxi Milian of Bavaria & middot; Duke Joseph (a side branch of the wittensbach family) and ludovica & middot of the wittensbach family; The second daughter of William Mina, the daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria. She grew up in the court of her parents in pasahorsen on the Bank of Lake staenberg. Her childhood was quite carefree, because her parents had no duties and obligations in the palace.
In 1853, sissy went to isher, Austria with her mother and sister Helen. The plan was that Helen should receive her cousin, Austrian Emperor Franz & middot; Joseph I's attention. To my surprise, Franz & middot; Joseph I fell in love with sissy. The two married in Vienna on April 24, 1854. As a wedding gift, Franz & middot; Joseph gave isher's palace to sissy. Since then, the palace has been transformed into an E-shape.
From the beginning, sissy had difficulty accepting the strict court rules used in the Habsburg court, so she was very isolated in the palace. She herself liked horse riding, reading and art, which could not be understood by the Vienna Court. She soon gave birth to three children: Sophie (1855-1857), gisella (1856-1932) and crown prince Rudolph (1858-1889). But empress dowager Sophie was not allowed to exert any influence on her children's education; The relationship between Joseph began to deteriorate. Shortly after her son was born, she left Austria for a long trip, including Madeira, Britain and Hungary.
Sisi has always been sympathetic to the Hungarian nation. After the Austria Hungary compromise was reached in 1867, she and her husband were crowned Queen of Hungary in Buda.
